Mandi's obituary

Some people walk this earth only for a short time. Their departure reminds us that angels are watching over us. Mandi Michelle Riley, mother, sister, daughter, and friend, went home to be with Jesus on March 3rd, 2022. She was born on November 9th, 1978 in Jonesboro, Arkansas before moving to Yukon, Oklahoma in 1984. Mandi graduated from Yukon high school in 1997.

Mandi became a mother in the years of 2000 and 2003, to two beautiful daughters, Korie and Kinlee. Anyone who knew Mandi, knew they were her biggest pride and joy. She embraced every moment she had with them. In her free time, Mandi loved spending time with close friends and taking a ride on a motorcycle. One of her biggest passions was the medical field, whether it was as simple as a doctors office or as big as a hospital. After her mother, Jo Ann, was diagnosed with RA and lung cancer, Mandi got to spend the last couple years of her mothers life by her side, taking care of her. No matter what you knew Mandi as, she was a beautiful and feisty soul who will forever be missed.

Mandi Michelle Riley is survived by her father, John Pardew; daughters Kinlee Riley and Korie Blue; brother Brian Pardew; brother Jake Pardew; stepfather Bill Bartholomew; and along with other family and friends. She was preceded in death by her mother, Jo Ann Pardew; grandparents Joe and Maude Robertson; and grandparents James W and Frances Pardew.

A memorial viewing for Mandi will be held from 6pm-8pm on March 11th, 2022 at Yanda and Son Funeral Home in Yukon, OK.

A service to honor Mandi’s life will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, March 12th, 2022 at the Yanda & Son Funeral Home, Yukon, OK. Following the service, we will lay her to rest in her final resting place at the Yukon Cemetery.
